38 CONFIGURING THE REMOTEof the bottom line and the PUNCH-THROUGHdevice. In the example used, the display to return theremote to default settings will appear as shown inFigure 53.Figure 53Channel Punch-ThroughChannel punch-through allows the Channel Up/Downbuttons to send commands to a different device thanthe one that has been selected for other commands.For example, you may wish to use a cable box orsatellite receiver as the source for a VCR, so youwould want the Channel Up/Down Selectors to transmit commands to the cable box even thoughthe other button commands are programmed tooperate the VCR.To program the DPR for Channel punch-through,follow these steps. This example will show how to pro-gram channel punch-through so that the commandsprogrammed for Channel Up/Down for the VID 3/Cable device will be transmitted when the VID 1/VCRdevice has been selected as the current device.1. Press and hold the Program Button O forabout three seconds while the message shownin Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCDInformation Display 2. Release the buttonwhen the red light under the Set Button Fappears.2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure16), will appear in the LCD display and the SetButton F will remain illuminated in red. Pressthe ⁄ /¤ Navigation Buttons n untilPUNCH-THROUGH appears on the bottomline of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 49.Press the Set Button F to enter the mainpunch-through menu branch.3. At the next menu screen, press the ⁄ /¤Navigation Buttons n until CHANNELappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen,as shown in Figure 54. Press the Set ButtonF to begin programming the remote forChannel punch-through.Figure 544. The next display screen (Figure 55) is where youselect the device that will receive the punch-through commands. In our example, that is theVID 2/TV button, as that is where we want thecable box’s channel controls to be active. Pressthe ⁄ /¤ Navigation Buttons n until thename of the base device appears and then pressthe Set Button F.Figure 555. At the next display screen (Figure 56), you willselect the device whose Channel Up/Down com-mands will be used. Press the ⁄ /¤ NavigationButtons n until the desired device nameappears to the right of the device in use. In ourexample, that is the cable box. When the desiredcombination of devices appears, press the SetButton F.Figure 566. When the Set button is pressed, the display willchange to show you that the new combinationof control commands is being saved to the unit’smemory, as shown in Figure 57. The wordSAVED will flash four times and then the remotewill return to normal operation.Figure 577. Once the punch-through is programmed, thechannel up/down buttons of the second devicenamed will be used when those buttons arepressed while the master device is in use.Returning the Channel Control Settings toDefault Operation:If you wish to remove the Channel Punch-Throughso that the commands for Channel Up/Down arereturned to the factory default setting, follow the stepsshown above, except that in Steps 4 and 5, selectthe same device for both the DEVICE IN USE onthe left side of the bottom line and the PUNCH-THROUGH device. In the example used, the displayto return the remote to default settings will appear asshown in Figure 58.Figure 58Transport Punch-ThroughTransport punch-through allows the Play q, StopJ, Fast Forward/Reverse I, Pause J,Record J and Skip Up/Down K buttons tosend commands to a different device than the onethat has been selected for other commands. Forexample, you may wish to operate the transport of asecond VCR you have connected to the VID 2/TVinput, as shown in the following example.1. Press and hold the Program Button O forabout three seconds while the message shownin Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCDInformation Display 2. Release the buttonwhen the red light under the Set Button Fappears.2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure16), will appear in the LCD display and the SetButton F will remain illuminated in red. Pressthe ⁄ /¤ Navigation Buttons n untilPUNCH-THROUGH appears on the bottomline of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 48.Press the Set Button F to enter the mainpunch-through menu branch.3. At the next menu screen, press the ⁄ /¤Navigation Buttons n until TRANSPORTappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, asshown in Figure 59. Press the Set Button Fto begin programming the remote for transportpunch-through.Figure 594. The next display screen (Figure 60) is where youselect the device that will receive the punch-through commands. In our example, that is theTV button, as that is where we want the VCR’stransport controls to be active. Press the ⁄ /¤Navigation Buttons n until the name of thebase device appears and then press the SetButton F.Figure 605. At the next display screen (Figure 61), you willselect the device whose transport commands willbe used. Press the ⁄ /¤ Navigation Buttonsn until the desired device name appears to theright of the device in use. In our example, that isthe VCR. When the desired combination ofdevices appears, press the Set Button F.Figure 616. When the Set button is pressed, the display willchange to show you that the new combination ofcontrol commands is being saved to the unit’smemory, as shown in Figure 62.
